History

The statue was built in Green Hill Zone after Robotnik was defeated, as a symbol of hope. Years later, the Mad Ferret blew up the statue on Bonfire Night to demoralise the local villagers. The villagers began to panic that it was a bad omen, a sign that Robotnik would soon return and that they would all be turned into Badniks within six months. Fortunately, Mad Ferret's plan was thwarted when Tails gave a rousing speech, saying that they defeated Robotnik before and can do it again.[1]
